Lightning and Firefist (Script)

  *Ponyville Park*

  Pinkie Pie:  Hoof-biting action overload! She was like a stunt superstar, flying higher and higher, and then Rainbow Dash swooped down--swoosh--and right before she hit the ground--shoom-she pulled up--vrrrmmm!

  Twilight: Uh-huh.

  Stealth: Then what happened next Pinkie?

  Pinkie Pie: And then she looped around and around like whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo!

  Twilight: Uh-huh, hey looks there's Rainbow Dash. Maybe you could talk to her. (Realized Pinkie Isn't there) Where'd she go?

  Lightning: She left at least a second ago. We'll go chase her and Rainbow Dash (Puts Stealth on his back and flies)

  Pinkie Pie: Rainbow Dash!

  Rainbow Dash: (grunt) Pinkie Pie? Not again.

  Pinkie Pie: Rainbow Dash.

  Rainbow Dash: Not now, Pinkie Pie.

  Pinkie Pie: But, but Rainbow Dash–

  Lightning: You should to listen to her. It's very important!

  Rainbow Dash: I'm in the middle of something.

  Pinkie Pie: But–

  Stealth: It's gonna pay off!

  (Lightning stops flying)

  Rainbow Dash: I said not now--( crashes into the mountain and grunts)

  Pinkie Pie: We were gonna tell you to look out for that mountain.

  Rainbow Dash: (grumble)

  Lightning: Well I'm going to off. Have fun with Pinkie Pie Stealth!

  Stealth: Bye Lightning!

  *Ponyville*

  (Stealth and Pinkie Pie are looking for Rainbow Dash and come up toward Twilight)

  Pinkie Pie: Twilight, have you seen Rainbow Dash anywhere?

  Twilight: Isn't she up there? (Pointing toward a cloud)

  Stealth: Hey, Rainbow Dash!

  Rainbow Dash: (Grunts)

  *Sweet Apple Acres*

  Rainbow Dash: Phew, That was close.

  Pinkie Pie and Stealth: Hi, Rainbow Dash!

  Rainbow Dash: Aah!

  *Golden Oaks Library Rooftop*

  Rainbow Dash: Phew.

  Pinkie Pie: Hi, again!

  Rainbow Dash: Aah!

  *Lake*

  Rainbow Dash: Phew.

  Stealth: Hey Rainbow Dash!

  Rainbow Dash: Aah- forget it.

  Stealth: We just want a favor.

  Rainbow Dash: Okay.

  *Ponyville*

  Pinkie Pie: Over to the right. No no, a little to the left. Oh wait, back to the right. Now a little leftish while staying rightly. Stop. Hmm. Maybe a few inches to the south. Now a couple centimeters north. Okay. One more smidgimeter to the--

  Rainbow Dash: Pinkie Pie!

  Pinkie Pie: Uh, Perfect! Wait for our signal.

  (Spike is walking by carrying scrolls, Stealth gives signal, Rainbow Dash kicks the cloud causing a bolt to strike and scaring Spike who yelps)

  (Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Stealth snicker then laugh out loud)

  Pinkie Pie: Oh, look guys. We scared Spike into the hiccups.

  Spike: (chuckles) Good one, Pinkie (hiccup) Pie (hiccup) and (hiccup) Stealth (hiccup) You're always pulling a fast one (hiccup) on me. (hiccup) Nnaa--

  Stealth: You're not hurt are you?

  Spike: Ne--(hiccup)--eh, don't be (hiccup) silly, dragons are (hiccup) fire-proof.

  Pinkie Pie: Oh, okay, good.

  (Stealth, Pinkie, and Rainbow Dash laugh again)

  Spike: I wish the same thing (hiccup) were true with scrolls.

  Stealth: I'll be right back (Rushes off to Castle)

  *Canterlot Castle*

  Princess Celestia: (Gasp)

  Stealth: Sorry, Princess! Accidental send! (Rushes back to Ponyville)

  Princess Celestia: (Chuckles)

  *Ponyville*

  Stealth: Back! Sorry I took so long.

  (Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie Laugh)

  Pinkie Pie: Have you ever seen anything more hilarious? (laughs)

  Rainbow Dash: I can think of one thing. (Kicks cloud causing another bolt to strike)

  Pinkie Pie: Aah! (hiccup) (giggles) (hiccup) (chuckles) (hiccup) (laughs) (hiccup)

  Rainbow Dash: I didn't take you guys for pranksters, Pinkie Pie and Stealth.

  Stealth: My personality is unpredictable.

  Pinkie Pie: Are you (hiccup)  kidding? (hiccup) I love to pull pranks. It's all (hiccup) in good fun, and Pinkie Pie lo--(hiccup)--oves to have (hiccup) fun! (hiccup)

  Rainbow Dash: You know Pinkie Pie and Stealth, you're not as annoying as I thought.

  Pinkie Pie: (hiccup)

  Rainbow Dash: You wanna hang out?

  Pinkie Pie: (hiccup) That'd be (hiccup) I'd really (hiccup) When do (hiccup) I mean (hiccup) When would you (hiccup)...

  Stealth: A simple nod would do.

  Pinkie Pie: Mmm-hmm.

*Clothing Boutique*

  Rainbow Dash: Is she even home?

  Stealth: Trust me she is. I even saw her go in.

  Rainbow Dash: Here she comes!

  Rarity: (comes out smells the flowers) Ooo. Ah-choo!

  (Stealth, Rainbow, and Pinkie laugh and come out of the bush)

  *Golden Oaks Library*

  (Twilight Writes down step and writing disappears, realizes it and sees Rainbow, Pinkie, and Stealth are in the bushes holding a bottle of invisible ink. Twilight smiles)

  *Ponyville*

  Lightning: So, that's what happened at that time, Flash.

  Flash: Wow. never knew a pony could be that stubborn.

  Lightning: (notices a quarter) Hey a quarter! (Tries to pull quarter off with his magic and is still stuck to the ground) I don't get it.

  (Both notices Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Stealth are laughing)

  Lightning: (Smiles) Very funny guys.

  *Sweet Apple Acres*

  (Applejack come out of the barn and notices all the apples are painted)

  Applejack: Huh?! Land sakes!

  Stealth: (French Accent) Zou can zank ze artists. We french art prodegies. We alzo specialize in sculp-tures

  (Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie laugh, then Applejack throws apples at them and the three speed away. Apple lands in a bucket of water and Applejack chuckles)

  *Lake*

  (Fluttershy is feeding fish)

  Pinkie Pie: Who should we prank next?

  Rainbow Dash: How about Fluttershy?

  (Pinkie Pie spits out the toy)

  Stealth: Hold on! We cannot prank Fluttershy. I've been here long enough to know she's very, very sensitive.

  Pinkie Pie: Yeah, even our most harmless prank will hurt her feelings.

  Rainbow Dash: Yeah, you're right.  We need another victim who's made of tougher stuff.

  Pinkie Pie: I can think one.

  Stealth: So can I.

  Rainbow Dash: Who?

  Stealth: Look down.

  Rainbow Dash: (Looks at her reflection of the lake and has a black painted eye) Oh, good one guys!

  (Stealth, Pinkie, and Rainbow Laugh)

  *Ponyville*

  Stealth: That was amazing! Maybe we should do another prank.

  Rainbow: Yeah. (Looks at a plant cactus in sunglasses. hat, and clothes) Dude, that is just wrong.

  Stealth: What? I didn't say anything.

  Pinkie: She's means to that thing.

  Rainbow: Yeah, he said he's going to get you.

  Stealth: What?! I'll fix him. (Goes up to cactus) Hey buddy! You wanna mess with me? I'll mess you up, you won't even walk right. (Tries to beat up cactus which is hurting back and completely ruins it) There that's better. I'm thirsty, I'll drink this apple juice. (Drinks apple juice and comes out him through the holes of body. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are snickering) That's funny. I'm still thirsty. (Drinks apple juice and comes back out of him again. (Rainbow and Pinkie laugh out loud) What's so funny? (realizes) Oh, good one guys.

(The three laugh)

  *The Next Day*

  Pinkie Pie: (With a funny face prop on) Rise and shine Rainbow Dash! We have a whole day of pranking to-(notices a griffon) Ooh.

  Rainbow Dash: Mornin' Pinks, Stealth. Gilda, this my gal and monkey pal, Pinkie Pie and Stealth Firefist.

  Stealth: It's true, I'm a monkey.

  Gilda: Hey what's up?

  Rainbow Dash: Pinkie and Stealth, this is Gilda. She's a griffon.

  Pinkie Pie: What's a griffon.

  Stealth: It's a half eagle, half lion creature. They're kinda cool actually.

  Gilda: And all awesome. (Hoof to claw bump with Rainbow Dash)

  Rainbow Dash: Gilda's my best friend from my days at Junior Speedster flight camp. Hey, remember the chant?

  Gilda: Sha, they made us recite it every morning, I'll never get that lame thing out of my head.

  Rainbow Dash: Sooo...

  Gilda: Ugh. Only for you, Dash.

  Rainbow Dash and Gilda: Junior Speedsters are our lives, Sky-bound soars and daring dives Junior Speedsters, it's our quest, To some day be the very best!

  Pinkie Pie: (laughs) Oh that was awesome, and it gave me a great idea for a prank. Gilda, you game?

  Gilda: Huh. Well, I groove on a good prank as much as the next griffon. But Dash, you promised me we'd get a flying session in this morning.

  Rainbow Dash: Yeah, uh, well, Pinkie Pie, you don't mind, do you? Gilda just got here. We'll catch up with you later.

  Pinkie Pie: Oh. Um, well sure, no problem. Have fun you guys, I'll, uh, just catch up with you-- (sigh) later. (blows party hooter sadly)

  Stealth: We'll get a chance Pinkie Pie.

  Pinkie Pie: (Brightens up) You're totally right!

  *Later*

  Gilda and Rainbow Dash: (laughing)

  Gilda: Whoa, that was sweet. Just like old times.

  Rainbow Dash: Yeah, only faster. So now what?

  Pinkie Pie: Hey there.

  Stealth: Hi, girls!

  Gilda and Rainbow Dash: Huh?

  Pinkie Pie: It's later. And we caught up.

  Stealth: (to Rainbow Dash) Somehow, she thinks 5 minutes is later.

  Rainbow Dash: Pinkie Pie, Stealth, you are so random.

  Gilda: Hey Dash, think you got enough gas left to beat me to that cloud?

  Rainbow Dash: A race? You are so on.

  Gilda: One, two, three, go. (Both race off)

  Pinkie Pie: Hey!

  Rainbow Dash: I win.

  Gilda: As if. I won, dude.

  Rainbow Dash: No way.

  Gilda: Yes way.

  Rainbow Dash: Oh, come on, I was way ahead of you.

  Gilda: Uh, I don't think so.

  Rainbow Dash: Oh Geez, dream on.

  Gilda: Remember back in camp? I–

  Rainbow Dash: There is no way you beat me.

  Gilda: Whatever.

  (Pinkie Pie and Stealth are on a flying invention)

  Pinkie Pie: Wow guys, that was really close, but I think Rainbow Dash beat you by a teeny weeny itty bitty hair, or a teeny weeny itty bitty feather.

  Stealth: To me it kinda was a tie. But take Pinkie Pie's word for it.

  Rainbow Dash: Hah, see? Good thing Pinkie Pie's here to keep you honest, G.

  Gilda: Okay... Dash, last one to that cloud up there is a gnarly dragon egg. Go! (To Pinkie and Stealth) I think the high altitude is making you dizzy. (Pops ballons)

  Pinkie Pie and Stealth Firefist: Wait for us!

  *Higher Cloud*

  Pinkie Pie: Wait, guys! Oh wow, you guys almost got away from us that time.

  Gilda: So, Dash, got any new moves in your tricktionary, or are you 100% old school?

  Rainbow Dash: New moves? Heh, sit back G, this is gonna take a while.

  Gilda: Hey Pinkie, Stealth, c'mere.

  Pinkie Pie and Stealth Firefist: Yeah?

  Gilda: Don't you know how to take get lost for an answer? Dash doesn't need to hang with some dweebs like you now that I'm around. You're dorkin' up the skies, Stinkie Pie, and Lame Dorkfist, so make like a bee and BUZZ OFF.

  Pinkie Pie and Stealth Firefist: (gasp) Whaaa-aaa–

  Rainbow Dash: Try matching that. Hey, where's Pinkie Pie, Stealth and their crazy contraption?

  Gilda: Eh, they left. Something about being as busy as a bee.

  Pinkie Pie: (at the ground with Stealth) Hmph!

  Stealth: (Growls)

  *Golden Oaks Library*

  Twilight: Are you sure this old friend of Rainbow Dash is mean Pinkie and Stealth?

  Pinkie Pie: Um, yeah. She keeps stealing Rainbow Dash away, she pops my balloons, and she told us to buzz off. I've never met a griffon this mean.

  Lightning: Have you even met a griffon before?

  Pinkie Pie: Well, actually, I've never met a griffon at all, but I bet if I had, she wouldn't have been as mean and grumpy as Gilda.

  Stealth: She's right guys. I've met grumpy creatures who haven't had any sleep in ten nights in a row more nice than her.

  Twilight: You know what I think, guys? You're jealous.

  Pinkie and Stealth: What?!

  Spike: Green with envy, or with Pinkie Pie, pink with envy.

  Twilight: Listen guys, I don't want to upset you, but just because Rainbow Dash has another friend doesn't make Gilda a grump. I mean, perhaps it's you, Pinkie and Stealth, who needs to improve their attitude.

  Stealth: Are you kidding me?! There is no way I'm jealous of a friends of Rainbow Dash's!

  Pinkie Pie: Improve my attitude? But I... D... B.. It's Gilda that... D... Are you seri...(scream of frustration) (Leaves)

  Stealth: I don't need this either. (Leaves with Pinkie Pie)

  Twilight: (sigh)

  Lightning: Wow. I've never seen Pinkie Pie so upset before.

  Twilight: It's just because they're jealous.

  Lightning: Something's telling me it's not because they're jealous Twilight. Well I'm going to go help if Fluttershy needs help with her animals.

  Twilight: You're an animal pony?

  Lightning: In a way, yes. I also way with them.

  *With Fluttershy*

  Lightning: Hi Fluttershy! I'm here just like you promised.

  Fluttershy: Oh thanks for coming with me Lightning. You can help me escort these ducks and their mama.

  Lightning: No Problem Fluttershy. Just lead the way.

  *In Town*

  Fluttershy: Alright little ones, this way, this way. Mama duck, you're free and clear. (Bumps into Gilda)

  Gilda: Hey!

  Fluttershy: Oops, excuse me.

  Gilda: I'M WALKING HERE!

  Fluttershy: I'm sorry, it's just that...

  Gilda: (Mockingly) I'm sorry, I'm sorry. (Normal) How about you watch where you're going you loser!

  Lightning: No! You watch where you're going jerk!

  Gilda: How about you back off?!

  Lightning: No! (Gilda roars at him) Oh come on! I've heard louder roars from mimes! (Gilda breathes in the roar but stuffed by an apple with Lightning responsible)

  Gilda: (Spits out apple) Hmph, these lame ponies are driving me buggy. I gotta bail. (Flies away)

  Lightning: (muttering) Coward. (Turns to Fluttershy) It's okay Fluttershy. She's gone.

  Fluttershy: (sobs) Okay.

  Lightning: How about we go to Twilight?

  Fluttershy: (stops and sobbing and smiles and bit) Okay.

*Golden Oaks Library*

  Lightning: And that's who we ran into. She even hurt Fluttershy's feelings. What a jerk.

  Twilight: I guess Pinkie Pie and Stealth were right. Gilda was mean.

  Pinkie Pie: (Flashes in through door with Stealth) Party! Come by later! (Flashes out with Stealth)

  Lightning: She is very fast. How about a party Fluttershy?

  *Sugarcube Corner Party*

  Applejack: Who's this Gilda I've heard about?

  Rarity: I hear she's an old friend of Rainbow Dash. (Notices Twilight, Lightning, and Fluttershy walking over to them) Have you three met them.

  Fluttershy: I, um, have met her.

  Lightning: (muttering) I wish I haven't.

  Applejack: Did you say something Lightning?

  Lightning: Oh, nothing AJ. (To Twilight) I don't know why Pinkie Pie and Stealth threw a party for Gilda.

  Twilight: I know, she's a jerk like you said.

  (Pinkie Pie walks Gilda into the party)

  Pinkie Pie: Gilda! I'm so honored to throw you one of my signature Pinkie Pie parties, and I really, truly, sincerely, hope you feel welcome here amongst all us pony folk and of course Spike and Stealth. (Holds out hoof)

  Gilda: (Shakes Pinkie's hoof but is shocked instead)

  Pinkie and Stealth: (laughs)

  (Ponies Laugh)

  Lightning: Ooh, a little shock and awe I always say.

  Rainbow Dash: Oh Pinkie Pie, the old hoof-shake buzzer. You are a scream.

  Gilda: Yeah (chuckles nervously) uh, good one, Pinkie Pie.

  Rainbow Dash: Come on G, I'll introduce you to some of my other friends.

  Gilda: Right behind you Dash. (To Pinkie Pie and Stealth Stormfist) I know what you're up to.

  Stealth: Oh good.

  Gilda: Rrrh. I know what you're planning.

  Pinkie Pie: (giggles) Well, I hope so. This wasn't supposed to be a surprise party.

  Gilda: I mean, I've got my eye on you both.

  Pinkie Pie: And I got my eye on you. (To ponies) Everyone, I'd like you all to meet Gilda, a long-time, dear friend of Rainbow Dash. Let's honor her and welcome her to Ponyville.

   Gilda: Vanilla Lemon Drops don't mind if I do. (Chews then her face heats up breathing out fire for Pinkie Pie and Stealth to roast marshmallows for their s'mores) HOT!

  Rainbow Dash: G! The Punch!

  (Gilda goes over to the punch but glass breaks and the juice is spilled over her feathers.)

  Stealth: Well what do ya know? Hot vanilla lemon drops and punch served in dribble glass.

  Pinkie Pie: How did that happen?

  Rainbow Dash: Ha! Ha! Priceless!

  Gilda: (Sarcastically) Yeah, Hilarious.

  Rainbow Dash: G! Look, presents!

  (Gilda excitedly goes over to presents, opens them and spitting snakes come out, and surprises her)

  (Ponies Laugh)

  Applejack: Spittin' snakes. Heh, Somepony pulled that on me last month.

  Gilda: (Sarcastically) Ha, ha. I bet I know who that was.

  Pinkie Pie: You do?

  *Later at the party*

  Pinkie Pie: Cake time everypony!

  Spike: Ooh! Can I blow out the candles?

  Twilight: Why don't we let Gilda do it Spike?

  Lightning: Yeah after all, she is the guest of honor.

  Gilda: (Pushes Spike aside) Exactly! (Blows out candles, then it relights again. Tries again for about four times)

  (Ponies Laugh)

  Spike: Relighting candles. I love that prank!

  Stealth: I wonder who could've done that?

  Gilda: Yeah, I wonder.

  Spike: (digging through cake) Who cares this cake is amazing!

  Twilight: Spike!

  Spike: What? It's great.

  Lightning (Eating a slice of cake) He's not wrong. It tastes pretty good.

  Rainbow Dash: Hey G, you're not upset about some silly candles, are you?

  Gilda: No way Dash, like I said, I'm down with a good prank.

  Rainbow Dash: Come on then, let's have some cake.

  Gilda: (To Pinkie Pie and Stealth) Hey, I'm watching you two. Like a hawk.

  Pinkie Pie: Why? Can't you watch me like a griffon?

  Applejack: Hey y'all, it's pin the tail on the pony. Let's play.

  Rarity: Oh, my favorite game. Can I go first? Can I have the purple tail?

  Gilda: Well, I am the guest of honor, and I'll have the purple tail.

  Pinkie Pie: Yeah, Gilda should definitely go first. Let's get you blindfolded. (Blindfolds Gilda)

  Gilda: (Spike and Stealth spin Gilda) Hey what-- ugh-- what are you doing? Rrrah.

  Pinkie Pie: We're spinning you around and around and then you can pin the tail on the pony. Now just walk straight ahead and pin the tail.

  Gilda: (mockingly) Now just walk straight ahead and pin the tail.(Normal) Hmph, yeah, right. This is another prank, isn't it? I'm going this way.

  Pinkie Pie: Wait. The poster is this--

  Gilda: (Slips on cake) Whoa whaa waah waah waaaaah (groans and has the tail on her beak)

  Stealth: Uh, Gilda. You put the tail on the wrong end.

  (Room fills with laughter the Gilda Roars with anger)

  Gilda: This is your idea of a good time? I've never met a lamer bunch of dweebs in all my life. And Stealth Firefist and Pinkie Pie, you! You are the king and queen lame-os with your weak little party pranks. Did you really think you could make me lose my cool? Well, Dash and I have ten times as much cool as the rest of you put together. Come on Dash, we're bailing on this pathetic scene. (Rainbow Dash stands there with an angry face) Come on Rainbow Dash. I said, we're leaving.

  Rainbow Dash: You know Gilda, I was the one who set up all those weak pranks at this party.

  Gilda: (gasp) What?

  Stealth: Ooh.

  Rainbow Dash: So I guess I'm queen lame-o.

  Gilda: (Weak Laugh) Come on, Dash, you're joshing me.

  Rainbow Dash: They weren't all meant for you specifically, it was just dumb luck that you set them all off.

  Pinkie Pie: I shoulda known, that dribble cup had Rainbow Dash written all over it.

  Gilda: No way. It was Pinkie Pie and Stealth, they set up this party to trip me up, to make a fool of me.

  Pinkie Pie: Us? We threw this party to improve your attitude. I thought a good party might turn that frown upside down.

  Stealth: Yeah, I followed her suggestion to see if that would follow.

  Rainbow Dash: And you sure didn't need any help making a fool of yourself. You know, this is not how I thought my old friends would treat my new friends. If being cool is all you care about, maybe you should go find some new cool friends someplace else.

  Gilda: Rrgh. Yeah? Well you, you, you are such a, a flip-flop: cool one minute and lame the next.

  Lightning: You've worn out your welcome Gilda. There's a door, maybe you should go through it and leave.

  Gilda: (Growls and lunges at Lightning, but light engulfs the entire room. Pushed back to the floor, shoots widened eyes at Lightning, knowing he's not the alicorn to mess with) Hmph, Well, when you all decide not to be lame anymore give me a call (Leaves)

  (Mane 5 of the 6 come to see if Lightning is okay)

  Lightning: Don't worry, I'm okay girls.

  Rainbow Dash: No cool.

  Spike: Talk about a party pooper. I wonder where that light came from.

  Merry May: Um, what just happened?

  Pony: Really awkward.

  Rainbow Dash: I'm sorry everypony, for bringing Gilda here. I didn't know how rude she was. And Pinkie Pie and Stealth, I'm really sorry she ruined that awesome party you put on for her.

  Stealth: Eh, It's okay. No harm done. If you want to hang out with jerks that's your business.

  Rainbow Dash: I'd rather not hang out with her at all. I'd want to hang out with you guys.

  Stealth: Yes!

  Pinkie Pie: Shake?

  (Three of them reach out to shakes hands with each other but shock themselves and laugh)

  Stealth: You know me so well girls.

  Twilight: Hey Pinkie, Stealth, sorry I accused you of misjudging Gilda. Looks like I'm the one who misjudged you.

  Pinkie Pie: It's okay Twilight, even you can't be a super smart smarty smart-pants all the time. Come on everypony, there's still a whole lotta party to finish.

  (ponies cheer)

  Twilight: Dearest Princess Celestia, Today I learned that it's hard to accept when somepony you like wants to spend time with somepony who's not so nice. Though it's impossible to control who your friends hang out with, it is possible to control your own behavior. Just continue to be a good friend. In the end, the difference between a false friend and the one who is true will surely come to light. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. (Spike sends letter)

  Stealth: Oh, bananas. I sent her the wrong ink again. I'll fix it! (Rushes off toward castle)

  Twilight: Oh, Stealth.

  (Ponies laugh)

  *Canterlot Castle*

  Princess Celestia: Dear Twilight Sparkle, My faithful student... (Ink disappears) Oops wrong ink. (Stealth comes back)

  Stealth: Sorry, Princess! I sent you the wrong ink again. Well I better go back to the party. (Rushes back to Party)

  Princess Celestia: (Chuckles)
